[cayugabirds-l] Frivolity: celebrity (Broadway, film, and television), birder
Just a bit of fun: today on "Ask Me Another," an NPR pop-culture quiz show, I found out that the fine and fascinating actor Lily Taylor is an avid birder! During the course of her interview, she was asked if there were any unpopular birds. After defending some birds and categories of birds called out by the audience (vultures, Blue Jays, "pigeons"), she finally got around to naming House Sparrows and then explained why they are deservedly un-liked on this continent. Much to my relief, after sitting there and yelling, "HOUSE SPARROWS!" at my radio!! -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
Re:[cayugabirds-l] Broad-wings out
... and one of them got mobbed by Blue Jays at about 4:30 this afternoon! The episode was brief, and ended abruptly with the arrival of another Broad-wing. The second hawk had a much more robust voice. -Geo -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

Have 3 Broad-winged Hawks soaring low (c. 100') over the traditional nesting territory (Maple Ave, West Danby) right now.
